What happened: Orlando Magic broadcaster Jake Chapman earned best live call of the year in a peer vote at the NBA Broadcasting Meeting. The winning call came on an Anthony Black dunk.

What to watch: Orlando opens 2026-27 preseason with Chapman back on the call. Black remains a central player in the Magic rotation.
